Semi-Pit Weighbridge Minimises Footprint For QLD Recycler

A Semi-Pit Weighbridge was recently commissioned as part of major plant upgrade for a metal recycler in Brisbane’s Eagle Farm. The foundations of the Semi-Pit Weighbridge are mounted below ground level with Weighbridge deck flush with the concrete hardstand.

Ultrahawke’s Semi-Pit Weighbridge design eliminates the need for space consuming access ramps which allows vehicles to turn-off the weighbridge immediately the rear wheels have exited the weighing deck. Unlike in-ground Weighbridges which require Confined Space permits for servicing and cleaning, a Semi-Pit Weighbridge has open access to the load cells which can significantly decrease maintenance and cleaning costs.

Fully Australian Made by Ultrahawke in Melbourne, this Semi-Pit Weighbridge was installed by their local agent, Australasia Scales and is fitted with six heavy duty Flintec Weighbridge load cells of 30t capacity each to support the heavy concrete weighing deck.

A Rinstrum digital weight indicator generates the weight readings which are then transmitted via RS-232 serial output to a ticket printer for generating hardcopies of all weighing transactions of the Semi-Pit Weighbridge.

Ultrahawke is an Australian Owned manufacturer of Weighbridges and operates out of their own dedicated Weighbridge manufacturing facility located in Melbourne’s northern suburb of Campbellfield. Australasia Scales is one of Ultrahawke’s loyal weighbridge agents which provide local, state based sales and service support on all Ultrahawke weighbridges.

Shipping Container Scales are being used for weighing non-ferrous metals being received and dispatched in Melbourne’s Northern suburbs. Supplied by Ultrahawke in Campbellfield, the Shipping Container Scales were custom manufactured to cater for both 20 foot and 40 foot long shipping containers.

A second Large Remote Display using Bluetooth connectivity was newly fitted to a weighbridge in Melbourne, Victoria. Supplied by UltraHawke in Campbellfield, the Large Remote Display was necessary to allow drivers of longer vehicles such as B-Doubles to read the weight of their vehicles as they entered the weighbridge.

An Above Ground Weighbridge manufactured by Ultrahawke in Melbourne were recently sold and installed for a regional grain supplier in country Queensland. Commissioned by Australasia Scales in Brisbane, the Ultrahawke Above Ground Weighbridge uses a heavy duty concrete weighing deck measuring thirty-four metres long for weighing road trains.

A multi-deck weighbridge has been commissioned for use as a Public Weighbridge at BP’s site in Epping, Victoria. Supplied by Ultrahawke in Melbourne, the public weighbridge comprises four individual weighbridge decks for an overall weighbridge length of twenty-eight metres.
